or the socket faulty? (Check
by plugging in another
appliance).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Temperature guide

Self clean

• When ironing is complete,
remove the plug from the socket,
empty any remaining water from
the tank, and allow to cool
before storage.

• If you drop or severely knock
your iron, this could cause
internal damage even if the
outside appears alright. Have it
checked by a qualified
electrician.

• It is recommended that you use
up one beaker of water by
operating your iron’s steam and
shot of steam functions before
ironing any clothes, as some
dripping may occur while your
iron’s steam system is activated.

ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS

Check that the voltage on the
rating plate of your appliance
corresponds with your house
electricity supply which must be
A.C. (Alternating Current).

If the socket outlets in your home
are not suitable for the plug
supplied with this appliance, the
plug should be removed and the
appropriate one fitted.

WARNING: A damaged or
severed mains cable fitted
with a plug should never be
connected to the mains
supply. It must be destroyed,
as a damaged cable becomes
hazardous if connected to a
power socket.

Should the fuse in the 13 amp
plug require changing, a 13 amp
BS1362 fuse must be fitted.

WARNING: This appliance
must be earthed.
